Just received this through the A-infos list. I extracted the piece
that touches upon the issues raised by Jim and myself.

Interview With Norma Velazco, European Spokeswoman For The Tupac
Amaru Revolutionary Movement (MRTA)
Q: How do you explain the fact that during the storming of the
residency, all 14 guerrillas were killed - including two teenage
girls - whereas on the other side, only 2 soldiers and 1 hostage
died?
The goal of the MRTA commando was not to murder the embassy
prisoners. They were determined to have their demands fulfilled
while providing the maximum protection for the lives of their
prisoners. There was a struggle between the members of the
commando and the soldiers. But most of the members of the MRTA
commando were only killed after the residency had been taken, they
were most likely tortured as well. Their dead bodies have not yet been
shown to the public.
